Matís Bar (CLOSED)

This venue is now closed

Inside the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya (COAC), just in front of the Gothic Cathedral, you’ll find one of the best tapas bars in Barcelona, a welcoming, creative spot. The man in charge of this informal and highly recommendable place is chef Artur Martínez, who won a Michelin star for his restaurant Capritx, located in the nearby town of Terrassa. At Matís he serves his most carefree take on tapas with the likes of 'xatorejo' (a mix of cold cod salad, 'xató', and thick cold tomato soup, 'salmorejo'), and the home-made hot dog, which is served without bread.
